Application August 21, 1950, Serial No. 180,667

2 Claims.

The present invention relates to'new and useful improvements in glazingstrips for holding window panes in a sash without the use of putty.

An important object of the invention is to provide a continuousmetalglazing strip to extend entirely around the edges of the pane andconstructed to yieldably bear against the pane to hold the same in asash.

A further object is to provide a device of this character of simple andpractical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance,relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted forthe purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction andoperation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein likenumerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of the sash showing theglazing strip in attached position;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on a line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the strip; and,

Figure 4 is a similar view showing the strip bent to fit continuously atthe edges of the pane.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein for the purpose ofillustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of my invention,the numeral 5 designates a strip of resilient metal which is bent atright angles along a longitudinal medial line 6 to form an attachingflange I and a window pane holding flange 8.

Attaching flange I is bent rearwardly along a longitudinal medial line 9to provide diverging outer and inner flanges I and l I, one positionedbehind the other, and formed with openings l2 to receive nails or otherfasteners l3 for attaching to a window sash M.

The window pane holding flange 8 is also bent rearwardly along alongitudinal medial line I to provide diverging outer and inner flangesl6 and I I, one positioned behind the other, and with inner flange I1bearing against a window pane l8 to hold the latter in the sash.

The strip '5 is constructed of a suitable length to extend entirelyaround the edges of the pane and the flange B is cut at proper intervalswith 90 degree notches 19 to form a miter 20 at the corners of the panewhile the flange I is bent at right angles along fold lines 2| inalinement with the notches.

In glazing the window, pane I8 is placed in the rabbet 22 of sash l4 andglazing strip 5 is attached at its flange 1 to the sash in a positionwith flange 8 bearing against the pane, as shown in Figure 1. Thenotches 19 close to provide a mitered finish at the corners of the panewhen attaching flange I is folded along the fold lines 2| so that theglazing strip may extend continuously around the edges of the pane.

In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of theconstruction, operation and advantages of the device will be quiteapparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description isaccordingly deemed unnecessary.

It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shownand described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same issusceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of theinvention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new 1s:

1. A glazing strip comprising a pair of V- shaped resilient flangespositioned at right angles to each other and united at one edge, each ofsaid flanges including an inner flange and an outer flange, one of saidV-shaped flanges being adapted for attaching to a window sash and theother of said V-shaped flanges opposing a pane to hold the same in thesash, and with the inner flange of said last-named V-shaped flangebearing against the pane.

2. A glazing strip comprising a pair of V- shaped resilient flangespositioned at right angles to each other and united at one edge, one ofsaid flanges adapted for attaching to a window sash and the other ofsaid flanges opposing a pane to hold the same in the sash, said stripextending continuously around the edges of the pane and said last namedflange having notches at its outer edge to form mitered corners at thecorners of the pane.
